The Caymen solution is interesting however; first, you must run Xgator in an Xwindows environment and second, one doesn't get any extra real-estate. At best you could probably double the pixal resolution but you still won't see any more screen than if you were viewing the original on the Mac. Another consideration is performance. As I recall, it is sluggish and the Caymen tech people were very honest in admitting that they've never seen it run on a NeXT. I talked with them for quite some time and realized that I would have to wait for a different solution mainly because I need more real-estate. Caymen was great and I hope someone else calls them up--they've probably upgraded again by now--, unfortunately, I don't have their number handy. Ushare used with Executor might be a better option when the tecnology becomes more developed and able to work together. I think there will be more resources after NeXT fixes some of the bugs in NS 3.0. If there are other alternatives or if I'm mistaken please e-mail me as this seems to be an ongoing difficulty that I'd like to resolve. maurices
